Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been appointed as Cardiff
City manager, just six days after the sacking of Malky Mackay.
The former Manchester United striker and Molde manager completed talks on
Thursday morning, having been identified by Cardiff chairman Mehmet Dalman
as his first choice from the outset.
He said: "I feel lucky to be back in the Premier League. I had to have a
talk about it with the family obviously but it is a great opportunity."
Solskjaer has joined on a "rolling contract", but it has been
suggested earlier in the week that he had reservations about taking the job
due to the difficult relationship Mackay had with controversial owner
Vincent Tan.
There were also reports his former United boss Sir Alex Ferguson had told him
to turn Cardiff down, but the 40-year-old insisted the Scot had done no such
thing, and had been in touch to wish him the best in his new role.
